Total revenue rose 41% quarter-over-quarter, reaching ¥1.2 billion ($8.4 million).

Net income turned from a $34.2 million loss in the previous quarter to a $75.1 million profit.
-
The company confirmed its 2024 guidance of ¥3.4 billion in revenue and ¥2.5 billion in operating profit.
Gerovich noted that recurring cash-secured put premiums and operational growth have given the company additional flexibility, supporting new Bitcoin purchases.

Metaplanet’s shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange closed down 8.6% at ¥866 on Friday but recovered 0.6% by Monday midday.
Addressing investors, Gerovich stated:
“I understand the frustration during the recent pullback. Feeling this way is natural. But what gives us confidence is the foundation we’ve built.”
